    I honestly think its a swansong and possibly a sign that the end is near. They originally mentioned how they wanted use boxing to penetrate highly competitive sports broadcasting rights like the NFL and college football...but how on earth were they going to do with this boxing? Broadcasters like ESPN (owned by Disney), TimeWarner and others have ****** money, their warchests are just too big to compete with. It seems like the best course from here would be to look for a possible buyer which good happen...but I'm not entirely sure what's exactly on offer. They don't really seem to have a roster of compelling talent outside of Joshua and Canelo anyway.

    They should have made more of an effort to foster good relationships with both Arum and Haymon. Sorry, but both guys are Harvard graduate professionals who have been in the game for decades. Did they just think they were going to waltz in and steal a bunch of talent and hype??? From the Wilder negotiations they kinda came off as amateurs.

      But all it means right now is Sky no longer get rights to the DAZN fights in USA.

      Hearn is actually on the board at DAZN , which is only openly he said once to my knowledge. You would imagine there is pressure from DAZN for Eddie to take his fights there in the UK.
      Without Sky Hearn is irrelevant, there is literally no better platform in the UK for showcasing boxing outside of BT Sport and, considering just how much ground BT has caught, I dont think they would be willing to part ways with guys like Joshua so easily.

        Again when DAZN was fighting with your man crush (Canelo), you were posting hateful shyte about them. Now your singing their praises again. What changed?

          Downloaded the app today. Seems user friendly enough at a quick glance.

            Yep signed up last week, due for renewal on the 26 of December, for £2 I couldn’t give a phuck. Maybe if it goes all the way up then yeah. Have watch old fights on it, was watching Canelo/GGG 1&2 this week, Jacobs/Rosado whole card etc.... Am not complaining one bit at that price.

                  Subbed and for now its decent. But the app can really be way better.
                  FFS its way too cheap to let it go
